We finally found some time tonight to put together a Tyler photo album.

Family Resemblance
Aubrie and Tyler may wish to deny it someday, but no one will believe them...they are obviously related:

Welcome Tyler
On Thursday, August 14th, 2008 at 8:40 am we welcomed Tyler Richard Zbrzezny into our Family.
Tyler and Kristen are doing well.
Tyler weighed in at 7lbs-2oz and 20in, weighing less but measuring slightly longer than Aubrie at birth.
Aubrie seems to accept the concept of being a big sister though she was awfully upset and confused that should could not bring Tyler home tonight. It's been a long day and it is late, so this post is short. More to follow in the days to come.

Minor Setback
We had a minor housing setback this past week...seems we were not the only ones living in our house. On Monday morning, I heard something clicking when I woke Aubrie up for camp. Above her bed was a large brown spot...turns out we had a large hive of yellow jackets living in our attic and they were eating their way into the house through the ceiling. Just what I needed a week before the baby comes. Anyways, one exterminator and a large bill later, the yellow jackets have been evicted. This whole process took about 5 days.
During this time, Aubrie had to be locked out of her room so it could be sealed off. She spent 4 nights sleeping in the babies room on an air mattress and she is now afraid to sleep in her own room and only wants to sleep with mommy and daddy. (I think this is also partially due to the fact that she knows the baby will get to sleep in mommies room.) She woke up Sunday morning around 3 AM screaming so Daryl had to spend the rest of the night in her room with her. Last night went better, although it was a fight to get her to go to sleep in there.
In terms of the baby, THREE days and counting. I think we have everything ready, room is cleaned, crib and cradle are ready, swing and coming home outfit have been washed. The only thing left to do is wash all of the boy clothes, but I am too superstitious to do that before the baby gets here...I know that if i wash all the boy clothes, it will be a girl. The only one who seems overly concerned about the baby is Barron. The poor dog knows something is going on and he is now my constant shadow. He follows me everywhere and has to sit right next to me on the couch or at my feet if I am in a chair. As soon as I get up, he gets up. He even sits next to the shower when I am in there. I am not sure what he is going to do when I am gone for a few days.
The house is also just about ready. The kitchen in more done. The trim is up on the counter tops, the tile floor is sealed, and the cabinets are sealed. The only things left to do are put up crown molding and door hardware, both of which are completely aesthetic. Unfortunately, due to the yellow jackets, we now have a hole that needs to be fixed.
Aubrie's room was one of the few rooms in our house that was just about all done (new doors and windows next year). Now we have to patch, sand, prime and paint before the baby comes. Oh well, what's another project.

Busy Weekend
What a busy weekend...but I am sure that they will all be busy right up until the baby gets here. As mentioned before, we finished the second closet in our bedroom and added a new ceiling fan. We (Daryl-my role is as supervisor!) also finished the installing and grouting the ceramic tile in the kitchen as well as adding electric to the island. A few other random small projects also were finished, but the more we get done, the more it seems we have to do!
Aubrie transplanted her pumpkins that she is growing from their pots to her garden yesterday. Unfortunately we had a major downpour this afternoon, so we are not sure how many actually will survive. Aubrie does not know this as she is in Buffalo for the week with Grammy Lynda. I am not sure what I am going to do with myself all week, but sleep seems pretty high on my priority list.
And Congratulations to my cousin Sami and her husband Zach on the birth of their daughter, Annalise Camryn, last week. That makes SEVEN new babies born to friends and family in the last 4 months...only 3 left to go, all due within the next three weeks.

Closet
We now have a second closet in our bed room, which means that the baby now has his own closet! Yay! All that is left to do is paint the doors and put on the door knobs, but they are both functioning and full of clothes. We also added a new ceiling fan to our bed room, so all that is left to do in there is put up the crown molding.
Aubrie was obviously very interested in the process of building a new closet.
With only 18 days left to go until the baby gets here, it is good to get a few more things knocked off the checklist of house projects. This weekends projects include finishing tiling the kitchen floor, putting some shelves in a few kitchen cabinets, and a few other random projects.

35 Days...
...and counting. My c-section has been scheduled for August 14 at 8 am. Although I am at 33.5 weeks, the baby is measuring a bit big (~35 weeks), so he may show up before then. We have a lot to get done in just a few weeks, including choosing a name. Even though most think that we are not telling the truth, we really have not picked out a baby name yet.
On that note, we spent the past weekend in Rochester and Buffalo, so we did nothing on the house, but we got to see many friends and family. Thursday and Friday were spent in Rochester with Grammy and Papa P. We had frozen custard at Abbots, and went to a parade and craft show. Aubrie got to play bubbles and take long walks with Grammy and Barron.
On Friday night we went to the firework at the University at Buffalo with all of our friends from college. We counted and this makes TEN YEARS in a row that we have gone to the fireworks at UB. Crazy, since everyone is married and starting families. Just think, next year there will be at least 6 kids there. I think this year we spent more time watching the girls play. Suddenly they are more interested in hanging out with each other instead of mom and dad. Guess we're not cool any more.
Saturday was spent in Buffalo with Daryl's family. We got breakfast at Exquisite Taste, my favorite coffee house and then Daryl helped his brother at his new house while I went shopping for Buffalo "things." Unfortunately I came up short in my quest for baby Sabres merchandise, but I was able to find a baby Bills onsie and cap. That afternoon we went swimming at Daryl's Aunt's with his cousins and Aubrie got to play with all of her little cousins in the big pool. Jumping into the pool about a thousand times wore Aubrie out, so she stayed at Grammy Lynda's while we got to go out to Chef's for our sixth anniversary.
Sunday we went to Tim Horton's for our Buffalo doughnut fix and then had our friends over for a picnic. Aubrie got to spend more quality time with her buddies, Anna, Morgan and Riley, whom she misses very much. It was quite the busy weekend.
Monday Aubrie had her "All American" pictures done. If we can get the virus problem with our computer fully resolved, I will post the whole set of pictures on our website.
